Polytechnics have reached the finals of the new Special League of the "CASE-IN" championship

This year, as part of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, a Special ECO-CASE League was held for the first time, a competition for the development of technological solutions that promote environmental safety, efficiency and resource conservation in the nuclear industry.

65 teams from Russia and Belarus took part in the five qualifying stages.

Two TPU teams made it to the finals, consisting of students from the Engineering School of Energy. They will compete to win the league in December 2020.

The AVA team includes Anastasia Reef, Varvara Tsvetkova and Anna Kaidashova.

"When we were offered to participate in the "CASE-IN", we agreed without hesitation. After all, solving cases allows the team to maximize its potential in a short time. The most enjoyable part of the championship was teamwork, each member of our team was able to prove himself in different fields: technology and economics, design and illustration. We will definitely repeat this experience next year."- the participants say .

In addition, TPU will be represented by the Optimum team in the finals of the Special League (Alexander Alyunin, Nikolai Berezikov, Dmitry Kvitko and Stepan Kononchuk).

"This was our first experience of participating in such championships. The subject matter of the case turned out to be very close to what we study in the framework of professional disciplines, so we had enough competencies to competently present the solution. The case method is an effective learning tool. This format allows you to improve your analytical skills and better understand the relationship between individual disciplines. In addition, it forms soft skills: it helps to establish communication, teaches you how to work in a team"- the guys share.

All the qualifying stages were held online. The competition was attended by university students from Russia and Belarus — future specialists in the field of ecology, nuclear energy, nuclear industry, and technosphere safety from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tomsk, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Minsk, and other cities. As part of their teams, they developed solutions to improve the environmental safety and economic efficiency of nuclear power plants.
